Hello, booting the latest development LFS LiveCD (plus brltty-3.8) as "linux brltty=,usb:," (as one wants for autodetection of a USB braille device) results in the following bug:
1) brltty does not find usbfs anywhere and mounts it on /etc/brltty/usbfs (what a non-standard location!) without also registering it in /etc/mtab. Adding usbfs to /etc/fstab does not solve this issue. 2) when shutting the system down, the bootscripts do not unmount this filesystem, because it is not in /etc/mtab. 3) this prevents proper unmounting of the root filesystem (a LiveCD-specific step, see scripts/shutdown-helper or, equivalently, /usr/bin/shutdown-helper) and makes ejecting the CD impossible. It even prints "please report this as a bug" - but nobody did this, presumably because one must be sighted in order to see this request. You can try this boot line even without a braille device in order to reproduce the bug. If I do not get a reply within 10 days, brltty (and, thus, support for blind users) will be removed from the CD. -- Alexander E.
